GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION For Your Safety To reduce the risk of injury, loss of life, electric shock, fire, malfunction, and damage to equipment or property, always observe the following safety precautions. Explanation of symbol word panels The following symbol word panels are used to classify and describe the level of hazard, injury, and property damage caused when the denotation is disregarded and improper use is performed. WARNING NOTICE Denotes a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or death. Denotes a hazard that could result in minor injury. Denotes a hazard that could result in property damage. The following symbols are used to classify and describe the type of instructions to be observed. This symbol is used to alert users to a specific operating procedure that must be followed in order to operate the unit safely. This symbol is used to alert users to a specific operating procedure that must not be performed. This symbol is used to alert users not to disassemble the equipment. This symbol is used to alert users to make sure of grounding when using the equipment with the grounding terminal. WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, observe the following : Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors. 2 If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application and be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch circuit.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED WARNING These models are UL listed for tub and shower enclosures. Canada only: Not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40. Do not disassemble the unit for reconstruction. It may cause fire or electric shock.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED NOTICE Provide make up air for proper ventilation. Do not install the unit where ducts are configured as shown in below. Adaptor Excessive bending DESCRIPTION Successive bending Squeezed duct Bend close to duct adaptor When one switch is connected with two or more products in parallel, the unit may not function. Therefore, parallel connection should not be allowed. These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414. These products use a sirocco fan driven by a DC motor powered by an integral transformer. The motor is designed to have long operating life, high dynamic response, higher speed ranges with saving energy. The grille covering the fan body is a spring-loaded, quick remove type. A damper for preventing air counter flow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level. (FV-0511VQC1 only) This Panasonic ventilating fan model is equipped with a motion sensor and a humidity sensor that turn on automatically when motion is detected, when humidity increases rapidly, or when humidity rises above a 30% ~ 80% relative humidity set-point. It is user-adjustable to operate 0.5 ~ 60 minutes after the sensors are no longer detected. UNPACKING Unpack and carefully remove the unit from carton.

OPERATION (FV-0511VQC1 only) Panasonic ventilating fan responds to: (1) Motion sensor detectible condition. (2) Humidity sensor detectible condition. Motion sensor detectible condition The delay time is determined by timer preset switch. The unit continues running for an adjustable duration of 0.5 to 60 minutes, after motion is no longer detected. Human activity Fan activity INSIDE Stop 10 feet (3m) When motion is detected, fan runs sensor OUTSIDE 90 Remains running until the delay time has passed The distance that motion can be detected is limited to 10 feet (3m). The field of view of the sensor is 90. Room temperature is 25 C (77 F). 1. The product will run when environment humidity rise rapidly but not reach to the humidity setting, and stop after delay preset time. 2. Humidity setting selector is stepless change between 30 %RH~80 %RH. 3. The humidity detected by sensor may differ from the value on your hygrometer. 4. The product may turn on and off cause by the unstable environment humidity, you can improve it by adjusting the Humidity setting selector. FEATURE Optimum Ventilation Performance: Duct length, elbows and other factors increase static pressure which can hinder the performance of most ventilation fans. This fan utilizes Smart Flow microchip technology that monitors the static pressure in the system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending upon the amount of resistance within the ducts. This feature allows the fan to perform as rated and avoid potential installation issues. Outstanding Energy Savings: The Whisper ventilating fans are built using DC motor technology. The DC motor is 30% - 70% more energy efficient than the AC motor. Pick-A-Flow switch Pick-A-Flow Feature All the Whisper ventilating fans come with Pick-A-Flow speed options. The Pick-A-Flow switch on the face of all Whisper ventilating fans allow the option to choose 50 80 110 CFM for the FV-0511VQ1 or 110 130 150 CFM for the. These fans can run with constant air volume depending upon the needs of the owner. Air volume(cfm) FV-0511VQ1 50 110 80 130 Factory setting 110 80 CFM 150 130 CFM FV-0511VQC1 50 80 110 80 CFM 7
